Very excited for this game, already sharing it with interested servers. A couple questions!
On page 53 it says that shields protect all squares orthogonally adjacent, while p66 says all adjacent squares. Unless otherwise specified, does "adjacent" in this book mean "orthogonally adjacent?"
H ow does splash damage from weapons like the grenade launcher and flak cannon affect mech HP? Is that also subtracted, or does that damage only serve to damage parts?
Does shifting hit locations have to be applied in straight lines? For example, if I have +2 accuracy, could a hit location of 34 be changed to a 45?
Congrats to the authors, I'm happy the game turned out so well!
